Spoiler
Sleep is the only place I can escape to,
a place where we are in love.
You hold my hand,
and your mouth brushes against my light pink lips.
You have no flaws,
you’re perfect.
You sweep me off my feet,
and all my troubles are gone.
You whisper in my ear,
and tell me all the things I want to hear.
I wish I’d never have to leave you.
But each day, the sun shines through my eyes
and takes me away from the world in which you are mine.
a place where we are in love.
You hold my hand,
and your mouth brushes against my light pink lips.
You have no flaws,
you’re perfect.
You sweep me off my feet,
and all my troubles are gone.
You whisper in my ear,
and tell me all the things I want to hear.
I wish I’d never have to leave you.
But each day, the sun shines through my eyes
and takes me away from the world in which you are mine.
Version 2
Spoiler
Sleep is the only place I can escape to,
even if the escape is only brief.
In dreams, it’s just you and me.
You don’t have another girl in your arms.
Your hand’s untouched by everyone,
but me.
Your lips are clean, they’re free of her.
There’s no third person in between.
It’s just you and me.
We’re in love in my fantasy.
You hold me tight,
and I’m not scared of you anymore.
There’s no war in my heart
in my perfect dream.
There’s no struggle for air to breathe.
Your lips are soft as they press against my cheek.
You love me, only me.
We have picnics on the little green hill.
You’re not sidetracked and you smile for real.
Your eyes are bright and you glow beside me.
There’s no barrier between us.
It’s just you and me.
You have no flaws in my sleep.
You’ve never said anything that’s broken me.
We laugh and I never cry,
and even if I do,
I know you’ll be there to comfort me.
We go to the beach and lie on the sand.
The sun is falling into the sea.
Your lips touch my ear.
You whisper the words I want to hear.
There’s moonlight as we walk down the beach.
Our shadows are short and they bump into each other.
They are the image of a happy couple,
everything we should be.
It’s not a nightmare;
it’s a happy dream.
There’s no trace of reality.
But then you say those words;
it’s like everything replays.
You leave my dream and ignore my screams
as I fall into your shadow.
It’s not my dream anymore;
it’s reality.
The sun shines in my eyes,
and I awake into my nightmare.
I’ve been abducted from the world in which you are mine,
and I cry.
even if the escape is only brief.
In dreams, it’s just you and me.
You don’t have another girl in your arms.
Your hand’s untouched by everyone,
but me.
Your lips are clean, they’re free of her.
There’s no third person in between.
